PREPARING FOR USE

Machine Packaging

The original packaging has been designed and constructed to protect the machine during transport. We recommend keeping the packaging material for possible future transport.

Machine Installation

1 Remove the drip tray with grill from the packaging.

2 Remove the machine from the packaging.

3 For best use, it is recommended to:• Choose a safe, level surface, where there will be no danger of over-

turning the machine or being injured.• Choose a location that is suffi ciently well-lit, clean and near an eas-

ily reachable socket.• Allow for a minimum distance from the sides of the machine as

shown in the fi gure.

4 Insert the (external) drip tray with grill into the machine. Make sure it is correctly placed.

Note:

The drip tray collects the water that comes out of the dispensing spout during each rinse/self-cleaning cycle, as well as coff ee that might be spilled during beverage preparation. Empty and wash the drip tray daily and each time the full drip tray indicator is raised.

Caution:

NEVER remove the drip tray when the machine has just been turned

on. Wait a couple of minutes for the machine to carry out a rinse/self-

cleaning cycle.

AQUACLEAN WATER FILTER

The AquaClean fi lter is designed to reduce limescale build-up inside the machine and to provide fi ltered water in order to preserve the coff ee aroma and fl avour in each cup. By using the series of 8 AquaClean fi lters as indicated in this user manual, you will not need to descale the machine for 2 years or for the next 5000 cups (with 100-ml capacity).

Note:

Replace the AquaClean fi lter when the fi lter icon on the display starts fl ashing. Replace the AquaClean fi lter at least each 3 months, even if the machine is yet to inform you that it needs to be replaced.

After the machine has been used for a given time, it will require the fi lter to be replaced. This will allow you to replace the fi lter 8 times (equal to about 5000* beverages!) before having to descale the machine.

(*) Using 100-ml cups.

Preparing and Installing the AquaClean Filter

1 Remove the AquaClean fi lter from its packaging. Shake it for about 5 seconds. Immerse the AquaClean fi lter upside down in a carafe full of cold water and wait for the air bubbles to come out.

Adjusting the Ceramic Coff ee Grinder

Ceramic coff ee grinders guarantee accurate grinding for every coff ee blend and prevent the beans from overheating.This provides full aroma preservation, delivering a truly Italian taste in every cup.

Warning:

The ceramic coff ee grinder contains moving parts that may be danger-

ous. Do not insert fi ngers or any other objects. Turn off the machine by

pressing the ON/OFF button and remove the plug from the socket be-

fore carrying out any type of operation inside the coff ee bean hopper.

You can adjust the ceramic grinders to set coff ee grinding to your personal taste.

Warning:

The grinder adjustment knob inside the coff ee bean hopper must be

turned only when the ceramic coff ee grinder is in use.

This adjustment can be carried out by pressing and turning the grinder adjustment knob inside the coff ee bean hopper.

1 Lift the coff ee bean hopper lid.

ADJUSTMENTS

The machine allows for certain adjustments so that you can brew the best tasting coff ee possible.

Gaggia Adapting System

Coff ee is a natural product whose characteristics may change according to its origin, blend and roast. The machine is equipped with a self-adjusting system allowing you to use all types of coff ee beans available on the mar-ket (except for caramelized beans).The machine automatically adjusts itself after brewing several cups of coff ee in order to optimise extraction in relation to the compactness of ground coff ee.

- very coarse grind (15): lighter taste, for dark roasted coff ee blends;

to:

- very fi ne grind (1): stronger taste, for light roasted coff ee blends.

When you adjust the ceramic coff ee grinder to a fi ner setting, your coff ee will taste stronger. For a lighter coff ee taste, adjust the ceramic coff ee grinder to a coarser setting.
